I don't use it. My dealer stressed not to so I don't.

I have used canned air and computer vacuums and have no problem with either one.

Have any of you thought about using a vacuum? Works the opposite of canned air and sucks out the lint...

Thanks so much for the photos. As an occasional sewing instructor I am glad to pass on this tidbit to my students.

I had to laugh at the statement that no owner can get to or should get to. I can take the housing off every machine I have, even my computerized one. Top and bottom. If you can use a screwdriver you can take the housing off. Once you get the housing off you can use the canned air. The only part I do not take off is the turning wheel. It is too complicated to get put back right because of the clutch.

I do not use it and I certainly never will after seeing this. Thanks so much for the link, it was an eye opener!!

Thanks for this post I have shared the information with my friends.

I've always known NOT to blow the lint out, so common sense would tell you that canned air blows too!
